Cheerleaders On November 5, 1952, the upper six grades voted for the six high school cheerleaders for the 1952-53 basketball season. Although the girls went out in groups, they were voted for individually. They were all so good, it was difficult to choose between them. After the votes were counted, Mr. Sprague made the announcement that the varsity cheerleaders were Marian Lilja (Senior), Bernice Fisher (Senior), and Patty Fandrich (Junior). The reserve cheerleaders were Mary Reger (Freshman), Glenna Bancroft (Freshman), and Jeanne Williams (Freshman). We congratulate you for your wonderful cheering and helping the boys to a victorious second place in the league and tournament. Coronation of Basketball Queen On January 17, there was a basketball game here with Pierpont. But this game was second in importance to the main event of the evening. This was what everyone had been waiting for since last January — the crowning of the basket- ball queen. The preparations for this night were begun several weeks before. Each of the upper four grades elected their queen candidate. Then the campaigning started. The girls in each of those rooms were busy painting or drawing posters to be displayed around the school. As the eventful night drew closer, each candidate was trying to decide who would be her escort and what kind of gown she would wear. On the week of the crowning one girl and her escort were interviewed over the P. A. system each morning beginning with the Senior candidate and working down to the Freshman. Each high school student was trying to sell tickets to the game. For each ticket he sold, he could have one vote for his favorite. Each person who bought a ticket or came to the game also got a vote. Then the evening came. If you were there that night, you know how beautiful it was. At the half of the varsity game, a red and white throne was put in front of the stage. Then in walked Marion Lilja, our past queen, escorted by Richard Bruckman. our basketball captain, and the captain of the Pierpont team. Following her came the senior candidate. Bernice Fisher, on the arm of Lee Robishaw. Loretta Sowry and John Oren represented the Junior class. Then came Mary Jo Loesch and Bill Smith for the Sophomores and Claudette Slater and Bud Sowry, who were the Freshmen representatives. The longest moment was when Richard was opening the envelope. In it was the name of our next basketball queen, Bernice Fisher. Richard then escorted Bernice to the throne. The crown was placed on her head by Marion, our past queen. The queen was given a bouquet of red roses, and the court and past queen were presented corsages of yellow roses. There was then a short pause while pictures were taken, after which the cheerleaders led the singing of the school alma mater. Then the queen and her court marched out, between an aisle formed by the cheerleaders. It was a beautiful occasion and one which everyone will remember for a long time. Congratulations to you Bernice, and also to the other girls who helped make this occasion a memorable one. Basketball Team FIRST ROW: Russell Louden.

Custodians With thirty-three years of married life behind him and eleven years of keep- ing Kingsville school clean and in good condition, Mr. Loomis, who’s first name is Errett, is still putting in about eight hours a day, depending on the weather. This year he has an assistant, Mr. Clyde Smith. Mr. Loomis has two children, Erwin and Ruth. They are both married and have children of their own. He was born in 1893. Mr. Smith has three children, all boys. Two are in school, and the third will start in a year or two. We surely do appreciate the good care that these two men give our building. We could not do without them.
